Vista Countdown

Like me, most of my Blogger friends took it easy this long weekend. I know I had more than my share of turkey and cranberry sauce. There was one exception. I can only guess they opened up a new Starbucks across the street from Corinne at the Security Garden. She’s been writing like crazy and has lots of news to share.

One of the additions at the Security Garden is a new “COUNTDOWN TO VISTA” gadget. If you’re wondering how many more days, hours, minutes and seconds until Vista officially launches you can check it out at http://securitygarden.blogspot.com/

Bill P. I've had windows XP sincethe beginning and over these 5 years watched microsoft try toconstantly fix, repair and updatethis OS. Why would anyone beleivethat Vista will not be plagued by problems as XP. Why don't they fixit instead of creating a new OS toreplace XP? Microsoft gets to makebillions more this way. I will not jump to Vistaright away. I'm willing to sit backand watch what happens to it for awhile. Its like your advise to wait10 days to update any new updates.If Vista is that good i'll look at it as my next years X-mas gift. Ifit follows the path of XP I'll behappy with what i got now cause itsworking for me.

Dear Bill, Not sure if this is the place to ask this, but I am ever grateful for Winpatrol and follow your blog, and I'm wondering if you can comment on the apparent plague of dubious offered as toolbars at the Mozilla Firefox Extension site. I know that they are removing some negative comments about these toolbars. Is the problem with Mozilla, Conduit or what? I still love Firefox, but this is a concern.
